Is it true that early sex experience is one cause of vaginal itchiness or what they call bacterial vaginosis?

Because my ex girlfriend blamed me, im one of the cause why she got that problem.

This is what a web page about bacterial vaginosis says.

If this is an infection, did I catch it from someone?

No. Bacterial vaginosis is an overgrowth of bacteria that are normally in the vagina. While it's more common in women who are sexually active, it also occurs in women who are not sexually active. It's not usually necessary for your sex partner to be treated.

No, it's not caused by early experience, it's caused by a bacteria, hence the name bacterial vaginosis. It is caused by transmission sexually, generally when someone is with more than one person, but not always.

um no it can happen with any sexual experience.. You need to see the doctor for treatment and ALWAYS use a condom.. THIS time you got away with something treatable.. next time you might not be so lucky.

Early sexual activities is one of the cause for the Bacterial Vaginosis, mainly caused because of bacterial infection casued.

A healthy vagina normally contains many microorganisms, one of the common ones being Lactobacillus acidophilus. Lactobacillus appears to help prevent other vaginal microorganisms from multiplying to a level where they cause symptoms. The microorganisms involved in BV include Gardnerella vaginalis, Mobiluncus, Bacteroides, and Mycoplasma. For reasons not well understood, the numbers of these organisms increase with BV while the number of lactobacillus organisms decreases.

Most cases of bacterial vaginosis occur in sexually active women between the ages of 15 and 44, especially after contact with a new partner. Condoms do not appear to provide protection, but use of spermicides increases BV risk somewhat. Although BV appears to be associated with and triggered by sexual intercourse, there is no clear evidence of sexual transmission.[1] Rather, BV is a disordering of the chemical and biological balance of the normal flora. Recent research is exploring the link between sexual partner treatment and eradication of recurrent cases of BV. Pregnant women and women with sexually transmitted infections are especially at risk for getting this infection. Bacterial vaginosis does not usually affect women after menopause.A 2005 study by researchers at Ghent University in Belgium showed that subclinical iron deficiency (anemia) was a strong predictor of bacterial vaginosis in pregnant women. .

No. During shower before and after sex, use anti-bacterial bodyform especially on the private part can help to prevent itchiness.

its something a woman gets like a yeast infection.............it has nothing to do with early sex.

Yes, it is true. Every woman has a mix of bad and good bacteria in her vagina. When she comes in contact with another person, that balance can be upset. Bacterial vaginosis almost never happens in the person who has never had sex before. The causes are not 100% clear but having sex can cause it.

Thats a tricky one. They do call BV a STD but, say that you can get it with out sex as well.

It doesnt' matter wether you have sex earlier or not that determines the infection. It's just something that happens and yes it's possible you did give it to her, but not necessarily. I believe you also have to be treated or if you have it as well, you can give it right back to her...it's not a big deal though..It's not a STD, just a bacterial infection...caused by moistness..it could be from silkly line underwear and bacteria forms or tight jeans that cause moistness...you'll never determine where it comes from..
